BLW: A Good Option For Debt Exposure If The Price Falls
seekingalpha.com
2025-06-18 17:16:12BLW offers high income from low-duration fixed-income assets, providing better inflation protection than long-term bonds in today's challenging bond market. The fund's 9.77% yield is attractive, but its current distribution is not fully covered by investment income, raising concerns about sustainability. The fund is primarily invested in junk bonds and floaters, and it is unclear whether floaters will be able to deliver a positive real return over the long term.
